Use legal means to protect children
This letter regards the need for immediate action to protect Hawaiian children by removing biotech neurotoxicants like chlorpyrifos, which cause permanent brain damage to prenatal and post natal children, according to the Lancet Neurology, published 2014.
The following two court cases, may represent court precedents for successful Kauai court actions to protect Kauai children.
1) On Nov. 25,, the High Court of Paris indicted Marc Fellous, former chairman of France’s Biomolecular Engineering Commission, for “forgery” and “the use of forgery”, in a libel trial that he lost to Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini. The Biomolecular Engineering Commission has authorised many GM crops for consumption.
The details of the case have not yet been publicly released but a source close to the case told GMWatch that Fellous had used or copied the signature of a scientist without his agreement to argue that Séralini and his co-researchers were wrong in their reassessment of Monsanto studies.
The Seralini team’s re-assessment reported finding signs of toxicity in the raw data from Monsanto’s own rat feeding studies with GM maize.
The sentence against Fellous has not yet been passed and is expected in June 2016.
2) In September 2012, an article written by Jean-Claude Jaillette in Marianne magazine said that “researchers around the world” had voiced “harsh words” about the research of Séralini and his team on the toxic effects of a GMO and Roundup over a long term period – research that was supported by the independent organisation CRIIGEN. The journalist wrote of a “scientific fraud in which the methodology served to reinforce pre-determined results.”
Séralini, his team, and CRIIGEN challenged this allegation in a defamation lawsuit. They were assisted by the notaries Bernard Dartevelle and Cindy Gay.
On Nov. 6, after a criminal investigation lasting three years, the 17th Criminal Chamber of the High Court of Paris passed sentence. Marianne magazine and its journalist were fined for public defamation of a public official and public defamation of the researchers and of CRIIGEN, which is chaired by Dr Joel Spiroux de Vendomois.
The trial demonstrated that the original author of the fraud accusation, prior to Marianne, was the American lobbyist Henry I. Miller in Forbes magazine. Please go to:

Medical compassion should be immediately extended to all the employees, including managers, and their families, of all the biotech corporations on the island who use neurotoxicants. Everyone in Kauai should be routinely tested as soon as possible, for all the biotoxins being used, including the neurotoxicants, which may have a similar effect as methyl mercury poisoning, irrational thinking, explains the Lancet Neurology, published 2014.
